Abstract (en)

A component is manufactured from a powdered material such as a titanium alloy, by performing a first hot isostatic pressing HIP operation on the powdered material 14 while the powdered material is in contact with a moulding surface 8 of a rigid, usable moulding tool 2. The first HIP operation creates a non-porous shaped surface 16 on a partially consolidated component 14, but avoids bonding or reaction between the partially consolidated component 14 and the moulding tool 2. After separation of the partially consolidated component 14 from the moulding tool 2, the partially consolidated component 14 is subjected to a second HIP operation in which the powdered material is fully consolidated.
